The construction of the Palazzo Strozzi begun in
1489 by Benedetto da Maiano, for Filippo Strozzi
the Elder, a rival of the Medici who had returned
to the city in November 1466 and desired the most
magnificent palace to assert his family's
continued prominence and, perhaps more important,
a political statement of his own status.
Palazzo Strozzi faces the historical Via de'
Tornabuoni.
17
The famous wrought-iron lanterns that decorate
the corners of the palace exterior, are by an
iron-worker named Caparra
18
Filippo Strozzi died in 1491, long before the
construction's completion in 1538. Duke Cosimo I
de' Medici confiscated it in the same year, not
returning it to the Strozzi family until thirty
years later.
19
The palazzo remained the seat of the Strozzi
family until 1937. Great changes were made to the
building when the Istituto Nazionale delle
Assicurazioni occupied Palazzo Strozzi
20
The palazzo, granted by the Istituto Nazionale
delle Assicurazioni to the Italian State in 1999,
is now home to the Institute of Humanist Studies
and to the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi.
